The case study research plan and activity schedule have been highlighted.After the presentation, all the participants took the group photo together.In the afternoon, Mr. Awalludin Harun from Petronas as one of research team members of SuluSea-East Sabah basin case study, made the presentation on the current achievement of the casestudy from <strong>Malaysia</strong> side. They interpreted the 4 major horizons i.e. seabed, Upper Miocene,Mid-Miocene and basement and compiled the depth structure maps of seabed, Upper Miocene,Mid-Miocene and basement. Now, they are doing the seismic sequence stratigraphy analysis online SB30604-06.Subsequently, Mr. Redentor D. Pascual from Department of Energy, Philippines and hiscolleague Ms. Isabel Adjani B. Nicolas reported the case study progress in Philippine side. Theirpresentation covered by the following topics: Sulu Sea Structural Province and Tectonic Setting of Sulu Sea Basin Sedimentation History of Sulu Sea Basin Tectonic History of the Basin Structural Geology of the Basin Regional Structural Trend Analysis and Geologic Mapping Regional maps of Middle and Upper Miocene unconformities Regional map of basement including structures Regional geo-seismic sections (offshore) Work Plan Publication of the Past Activities Award of Research Grants Petroleum Systems AnalysisDr. Cai Feng, from Qingdao Institute of Marine Geology, under his capacity of NationalCoordinator of China to ICB-CCOP1 Project, gave a report on the research progress of theproject from Chinese side. He reported the progress on the project implementation, projectcurrent achievements, work plan and requirement for case study. He briefly reviewed theactivities on the Yinggehai-Song Hong basin case study, he also showed the new conducted themap of free air gravity abnormity, the map of Bouguer gravity abnormity and the depth map ofthe basement of Yinggehai-Song Hong basin. The interpretation of selected seismic crosssections from Chinese side and the relevant time-depth velocity curve have been done which areready to correlate and merge with another half counterpart from Vietnamese side. Then, hefocused on the implementation of the Yinggehai-Song Hong basin work plan which was agreedduring the ICB-CCOP1 Project 1 st Vietnam workshop in December 2005. He emphasized theresearch team of the case study from China would like to work efficiently according to theagreed work plan and carry out the output in time. He introduced the forth coming on shore fieldtrip activities in the Chinese side and the Vietnamese side of the Yinggehai-Song Hong basinwhich will be kindly sponsored by China and Vietnam. Finally, he presented his geoscientificinterests and challenging issues on the Yinggehai-Song Hong basin case study, especially on

achievement from their partners. They also made a maneuverable plan for carrying out the onshore field study of Yinggehai-Song Hong basin in China and Vietnam, which is kindlysupported by the Chinese and Vietnamese institutes.In the morning of second day of workshop, two group people went back to one meeting room,they started to present their finding through the workshop discussion. Mr. Zulhaimi BinAbdulrahman, geoscientist from Petronas, research team member, made the presentation on theworkshop finding of Sulu Sea-East Sabah group. They agreed to four conjunction seismic linesand 7 wells for case study. The guidelines are described as follow:Deliverable jobs Common TZ curve for depth maps Gravity-Magnetics maps of each country with interpretation Synchronize biostratigraphy control for seismic horizons (Upper Miocene,Mid-Miocene & basement) Each host country will search their database for biostratigraphic analysis and basementdating Geochemistry data search (in file) Merging Maps - Kingdom VS Landmark: Zmap Plus Onshore to offshore cross section.

The forthcoming field study on shore of Yinggehai-Song Hong basin in China andVietnam, supported by Chinese and Vietnamese initiations The challenging of CO 2 issues during the E&P activities, requested technical transferand experience sharing.

Before the end of the workshop session, the delegates from CCOP Member Countries made thevaluable comments on the workshop, as follow: Cambodia, very glad to attend the workshop and get the knowledge from the workshop,ask for the possibility of purchasing the basin modeling software licenses for non casestudy host countries; China, very happy to attend the workshop, will carry out work according to the plan asusual; Indonesia, learnt more from the Sulu Sea-Sabah basin case study that can contribute toTarakan basin study, expect to learn about fractured basement reservoir from ourregional experts; Korea, participants learnt more from workshop; <strong>Malaysia</strong>, glad to have the opportunity to share their information, knowledge,experience through the case study with geoscientists from CCOP Member Countries.They are also willing to share their experience in CO 2 and regional geology of theSabah basin. It is a good opportunity to come to work with their Philippines partnertogether to get the output through synergic efforts; Philippines, learnt more from others, the presentation about the basin evolution of theSulu Sea basin is available for sharing; Thailand, valuable information and fieldtrip data, expect to have opportunities to workwith Indonesia in Andaman sea and Cambodia in the overlapping area when thepolitical issues are solved; Vietnam, they will do their best for the cooperation to achieve the success; Mr. Ioannis Abatzis, appreciate to the local organizer and geoscientists from CCOPMember Countries. He is gratefully to see the success of the project.Finally, Mr. Chen Shick Pei, director of CCOP Technical Secretariat, made a short comment ofthis workshop. On behalf of CCOP, he expressed his sincere congratulations to all delegations fortheir dedication and efforts which resulted in a very successful workshop. During the discussions,all the geoscientists whatever come from case study host countries or non case study hostcountries shared their geoscientific views and experiences. The research scientists from ourCCOP Member Countries showed their scientific enthusiasm and cooperation desires. CCOP iswilling to continually provide the platform for the research cooperation serve as bridges amongthe partner institutes to facilitate the cross-border geoscientific cooperation in the region. He alsoexpressed the sincere appreciation to the contributions from the local host organizer Petronas.The success of the ICB-CCOP1 Project will be a new milestone in CCOP’s history.After the concluding of the workshop, the activity continued with the brief introduction of thelocal geology of the eastern Sabah. Our fieldtrip guide, Dr. Allagu Balaguru, from Petronas madea presentation on the regional geology of the eastern Sabah. The field trip local organizer, Mr.Awalludin Harun, from Petronas introduced the field trip route and logistic arrangement. Thefield trip stated after lunch, and went through the following four days. Due to the good weatherand unexpected amazing geological outcrops, especially the rich knowledge of the fieldtrip guide,who did field study for 18 years before and perfect arrangement by local organizer, the fieldtrip

was conducted very successfully.Obviously, the impact of the above mentioned activity is not just constrained to the activity itself,most of the achievements are beyond the activity. The existing knowledge of two case studyareas has been shared during the workshop. Effective communicate mechanisms have been setupamong the case study host countries as well as the non case study host countries. It strengthenedthe relationships among the geoscientists from our CCOP Member Countries and enhanced theirfriendships. The new connection has been built up and the sprite of the team work andcooperation has been established among the participants from different countries and differentnations through this workshop and field study although they have different religious beliefs anddifferent culture backgrounds. The trust and confidence have been built among the case studyhost countries’ partners. The geoscientific information, knowledge and experience have beenshared through the discussion, view exchanging, and working together. The fieldtrip participantsgot samples during the field study. These samples will be tested in the different countries’laboratories as well as the GEUS’s laboratory. The testing result will be exchanged and sharedtogether. This will be one of the most important direct inputs to the Sulu Sea – Sabah basin casestudy. From the comments of the participants from our CCOP Member Countries, we are happyto see that: The Sulu Sea-Sabah case study groups from <strong>Malaysia</strong> and Philippines want to have anextra workshop for them to work together closely so that they can catch up the progressof the Yinggehai-Song Hong case study. Actually, during the workshop, they alreadyborrowed the idea of cooperation implementation from the Yinggehai-Song Hong casestudy which was gotten in the last Hanoi workshop. The geoscientific information, knowledge and experience can be used directly in theTarakan basin, another adjacent case study area. The non case study host country starts to take a serious consideration of the possibilitiesto follow up the model of current cross-border case studies to host the future casestudies in the cross-border region, such as Andaman Sea and the offshore area betweenThailand and Cambodia. During the workshop discussion, the delegates from China brought the issue of CO 2which is a prevalent challenging in the southeastern Asia offshore area. As response, thegeoscientist from Petronas, <strong>Malaysia</strong> would like to kindly offer to share their successfulexperience in this domain.

emerges at the end of the project. Besides sharing geological and geophysical data, thegeoscientists will also be sharing ideas, which would ultimately upgrade the prospectively oftheir sides of the basin.We had our first meeting in Bangkok in May last year where we agreed on the three-year workscope and schedule. The meeting today is part of the fulfillment of that agenda to conduct aworkshop and fieldwork together to garner a better knowledge and understanding of the sharedbasin. We chose the town of Sandakan to meet because we want to get to as close to the basinas possible. In fact, just 50km. offshore from here, there is a well drilled previously with oil andgas shows, indicating the petroleum potential of the basin.After the two-day discussions which include planning for the future work, we will also travel toLahad Datu, to the south, to study the interesting outcrops in Dent Peninsula in order to have acloser look at the reservoirs, seals, potential source rocks and even the structural styles. Sampleswill also be collected for source rock potential and maturation studies. At the end of the field trip,I am sure the participants will return to their countries with a clearer picture of the sedimentaryrocks in the subsurface.Hence, to conclude, I hope all the teams will have a fruitful workshop and a productive field trip.It is my desire that your stay here in <strong>Malaysia</strong>, especially in Sabah will be an enjoyable and amemorable one.Cheers!Robert Wong, national Coordinator for <strong>Malaysia</strong>

BORGE PETERSENAt the opening of the ICB-CCOP11 st <strong>Malaysia</strong> <strong>Workshop</strong> on Sulu Sea – East Sabah Basin & Yinggehai – SongHong Basin Case StudyField Study in the Eastern SabahFebruary 26 – March 5, 2006, Sabah, <strong>Malaysia</strong>Mr. Chen Shick Pei, Director of CCOP Technical SecretariatMr. Alexander Yan, Director, Minerals and Geoscience Department, Sabah, <strong>Malaysia</strong>Mr. Robert Wong Hin Fatt, Senior Manager, Petroleum Management Unit, PETRONASMr. Ioannis Abatzis, Representative of Denmark to CCOPDistinguished delegatesLadies and Gentlemen,A very good morning to all of you. I am indeed honored to be invited to address the opening ofthis important workshop and field study in relation to the Institutional Capacity Building underthe Coordinating Committee for Geo-science Programmes in East and Southeast Asia.The objectives of the CCOP project are ambitious and numerous. Within the main area ofpetroleum, the objectives include, i.a., the promotion of regional cooperation, the enhancementof research, the introduction of cutting-edge technologies and the dissemination of knowledge.Demark is pleased to support the undertaking and in this manner contribute to achieving suchimportant goals. And, indeed, a lot will have to be done and achieved over the next three years,before the project comes to an end.Today’s opening ceremony here in Sabah is an important milestone in the project. I understand,that the events launched today represent some of the major activities to be implemented underthe project.Better understanding of the geological background of the cross-border Sulu East Sabah Basinwill bring more opportunities for locating additional oil and gas reserves. At the same time,specific knowledge will go a long way to ensure that the right decisions are made in regard toexploration and development of, for instance, petroleum resources.This workshop and field study will help the geo-scientists from <strong>Malaysia</strong> and Philippines as wellas other CCOP Member Countries to gain a much better understanding of the cross-border SuluBasin-half of which is in <strong>Malaysia</strong> and half in the Philippines.Denmark has over the years given substantial support to various environmental interventions in

Sabah under the <strong>Malaysia</strong>n-Danish Environmental Cooperation Programme. Danish support tothe environment sector in <strong>Malaysia</strong> was initiated in 1994. Over the last decade around 100projects nationwide have been supported with a total budget of more than RM 300 million. Theprogramme comprises Government-to-Government cooperation, support to NGOs as well as aprivate sector programme. In Sabah alone, Denmark has supported more than 10 projects withPM 75 million, including, i.a., biodiversity, coastal zones and cooperation with the university of<strong>Malaysia</strong>, Sabah (UMS)-Sabah has been a main focus area for the Danish environmental supportto <strong>Malaysia</strong>.Therefore, whatever interventions you plan under the CCOP project, please be mindful of theenvironmental implications!The kind of cooperation to be implemented under the CCOP project will facilitate and contributeto regional understanding and cooperation. Hopefully, through the implementation of this project,the relationship of member countries will be further intensified, partnerships strengthened andpersonal friendship developed.In economic terms, the production of oil and gas will impact significantly on the national and theregional economies. This will also contribute to reductions in poverty.Ultimately, the project can help reduce disputes and create more cooperation opportunities.Cooperation and interaction across borders, in my view, are extremely, important elements tofacilitate and promote peaceful regional development. In addition, the project does have thepotential to impact significantly on the prosperity of the region.This is clearly reflected in the earlier case study of Yinggehai-Song Hong Basin conducted lastDecember. This case study carries the potential of economic and social benefits to both Vietnamand China. The basin has now been identified for bilateral cooperation in an agreement signedbetween the Governments of China and Vietnam.Therefore, it is important that the implementation of the CCOP project will succeed infacilitating regional cooperation in the geo-resource sector as well as promote peacefuldevelopment of the regional hydrocarbon resources.Ladies and Gentlemen,The Danish Government, through Danida, is pleased to be associated with this effort and to beable to provide necessary technical assistance for the project.The fight against poverty, and thus the contributions to improved living standards, are underlyingprinciples of all Danish development assistance. Denmark considers access to energy services asan essential factor for economic growth and essential for the provision of basic living conditionsfor all human beings. The project surely has great potential to fulfill this principle.

Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate CCOP for taking the initiative todevelop this regional network of decision makers and experts within oil, gas and mineral sectors.The activities envisaged in the project will greatly facilitate the contribution of experience,know-how and technological resources as well as strengthen the capacity in public authorities, sothat they are able to better access their hydrocarbon resources.I trust, that the next days will be interesting and contain fruitful discussions and knowledgesharing. With these few words I wish you all a good workshop and field study.Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much.

Mr. Borge Petersen, Ambassador, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary ofDenmark to <strong>Malaysia</strong> and the PhilippinesMr. Robert Wong Hin Fatt, Senior Manager, Petroleum Management Unit, PETRONASMr. Alexander Yan, Director, Minerals and Geoscience Department, Sabah, <strong>Malaysia</strong>Mr. Ioannis Abatzis, Representative of Denmark to CCOPMr. Liu Liqun, ICB-CCOP 1 Project CoordinatorDistinguished participantsLadies and GentlemenGood Morning and Selamat PagiOn behalf of CCOP, I would like to extend a very warm welcome to everybody to this firstInstitutional Capacity Building in CCOP Member Countries, ICB-CCOP 1 <strong>Workshop</strong> andFieldtrip. In this august gathering this morning, we would like to express our deep appreciationto HE Mr. Borge Petersen for giving us his valuable time to grace this opening ceremony and todeliver an opening speech.The ICB-CCOP 1 project is of great importance for the region. Besides the geoscientificaspects of the project, it has great significance in promoting cross-border understanding andcooperation that can contribute to building trust and confidence, and promoting closecooperation among CCOP Member Countries. The fact that we can bring together personnelfrom different countries, to jointly work on a cross-border case study involving input of valuableand important data and information from both sides of the border, and discussing the petroleumresource of the case study area say a lot for the sincerity, commitment, fellowship, cooperationand trust among our colleagues from Member Countries under the umbrella of CCOP. CCOP isvery fortunate to enjoy this support, mutual understanding, trust and cooperation among MemberCountries and the ICB CCOP-1 project will no doubt further strengthen it. The fact that we areall gathered here this week to discuss the two case studies and other activities under the project isa strong testament to this strength of CCOP. I am sure that the Fieldtrip after the <strong>Workshop</strong> willfurther promote sharing of knowledge and experience and enhance friendship among theparticipants.I am very pleased to say that with barely a year of implementation, with the capable and effectivecoordination of the project by Mr. Liu Liqun, the project is progressing well despite its inherent

complex nature. Both the Song Hong – Yinggehai and the Sulu Sea – East Sabah Basin casestudies are on track according to plan. Other activities such as workshops, training courses,expert visits, technology transfer and the award of post graduate research grants have alreadybeen planned for 2006 and we can look forward to a high level of activities under the projectuntil its conclusion at the end of 2007.I would like to highlight several new CCOP milestones marking regional cooperation that havebeen made by the ICB-CCOP 1 project. It is the first time that a cross-border case study hasbeen agreed to be jointly conducted by the neighboring countries. Although the initial idea ofthe project for the case study was to use available public information, with the excellentcooperation, trust, and understanding, all the case study host countries have agreed to go one stepfurther by considering the use of some important data that are the propriety of the national oilcompanies and other concerned government agencies. This will no doubt contribute to makingthe results of the studies more useful in the understanding of the geological setting, and thepetroleum resources of the Case Study areas. Here we warmly welcome the participation of thenational oil companies, Petronas, PetroVietnam and China National Offshore Oil Corporations,besides the national petroleum research institutes and Government petroleum authorities of ourCCOP Member Countries.On behalf of CCOP, we would like once again to thank the Royal Danish Government throughthe Royal Danish Embassy in Bangkok for the generous support for this Project. Denmark, oneof the top donor countries that support development assistance, has been very active in bilateralprogrammes in this region and several of the CCOP Member Countries are benefiting from it.However, I believe this is the first time that Denmark has given its support directly to CCOP, amultilateral regional intergovernmental organization and we deeply appreciate this kindconsideration.We would like to say a big thank you to PETRONAS for the support of the Project, the<strong>Malaysia</strong>n National Project Coordinator, Mr. Robert Wong Hin Fatt and his colleagues fromPETRONAS for the meticulous preparations and arrangements made for this <strong>Workshop</strong> andFieldtrip. I would especially like to thank Mr. Liu Liqun, the ICB-CCOP 1 Project Coordinatorand the staff of the CCOP Technical Secretariat for their hard work in the overall arrangement forthis event.Before I end, I would like to once again thank HE Mr. Borge Petersen for his interest and hisgracious presence in this ICB-CCOP 1 <strong>Workshop</strong>, PETRONAS for the unwavering support ofthe project, as well as in hosting this <strong>Workshop</strong> and Fieldtrip. Our special appreciation goes toMr. Ioannis Abatzis, Representative of Denmark to CCOP, Senior Advisor of the GeologicalSurvey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) for his close interest and untiring efforts in renderinguseful advice and guidance in the project’s planning, implementation and management. Iwould also like to thank our CCOP Member Countries, particularly the national projectcoordinators and their colleagues for their cooperation, support and participation in the projectactivities and the case studies. Thank you also to the case study countries, China, Indonesia,<strong>Malaysia</strong>, the Philippines, and Vietnam for having so generously offered the case study areas,

and to host the studies.I wish you a successful <strong>Workshop</strong> and Field trip. Thank you and terima kasih
